Obama agenda: Challenging Wall Street

"The campaigner-in-chief kicked off a political blitz on Tuesday, holding three fund-raisers in Manhattan and collecting roughly $3 million for the Democratic Party," The New York Daily News writes. "Obama gobbled up checks of $30,400 per couple, the federal maximum, for the Democratic National Committee at the Mandarin Oriental hotel -- and joked donors got off easy. 'You can't afford a fund-raiser involving [First Daughters] Malia and Sasha. I'm cheap,' quipped the Columbia grad, who insists he gets 'more requests' for his 11- and 8-year-old girls."

At one of the fundraisers, Obama "challenged Wall Street to embrace his proposed financial regulations," The Hill writes. "Obama criticized the 'reckless speculation and deceptive practices and short-sightedness and self-interestedness from a few.'"

Here's the latest health-care poll, courtesy of USA Today/Gallup: "Americans are increasingly worried about the cost and quality of medical care that could result from President Obama's effort to revamp health care, but a majority still trust him more than Republicans to change the system." Also: "Half of Americans polled support a government-run public insurance plan to compete with private insurance companies, compared with 46% who do not… Six in 10 oppose a proposed tax on high-priced, "Cadillac" insurance plans included in the Finance Committee's bill. But 59% support an income surtax on high-wage earners being pushed by House Democrats."
